    That rumour was everywhere by the end of '94. Not a lot of millenials in high school then. Almost all Gen X.

      Late '80s. I was in middle school. That shit spread like wildfire.

        I heard the rumor back in '74 when Malta became a republic.

      And by the time Millennials were in High School we almost certainly had Internet.

        Who’s this “we”, white man?

        …I was poor and didn’t have it until I started art school in ‘99

          I didnt know that only white people had internet access before 99. I’m glad they let us in, eventually. I had internet access at school before 99, but it must’ve been a white school or something.

          It must be cool to be white and immune to being poor.

          Edit: this comment was a Lone Ranger quote. Not just nonchalant racism. I haven’t seen that movie in ages. It is a classic. Carry on friend. I apologize for assuming the worst.

            It’s a line from Lone Ranger (not the Johnny Depp one).

              You are right. I haven’t seen that movie in ages and forgot. I thought the person I replied to was just race baiting at first, but they were just vibing. I apologize for jumping to conclusions.

                It’s cool, I shouldn’t have expected many people to get the reference, being how outdated it is even for me

                Just vibing is the way to be, yo

            You probably have to add /s or root_beer won’t know otherwise.

              Perhaps I should have because you missed my point completely

      I heard it in 5th or 6th grade around 2001-2002. So still millennial. The post says elementary school not high-school… Just not the 90s in my case
